"The people of this community were encouraged to incorporate as a Village so that they would then be in a position to deal with such a problem affecting the area, and it is safe to assume that this was the purpose of incorporation, the providing of a safe water supply. sidewalks. street lights. and other necessary services for the area.

WATER SUPPLY PROBLEM

"There are two solutions to the providing of a safe water supply. which is our most urgent prob- lem. First. the drilling of private wells which would be deep enough to get water below the strata of contaminated supply. or second, thegbuilding of water and sewer mains which would supply pure water and adequate sewage dis- posal.

"The cost of deep wells would. in most cases. be prohibitive to the home owners in the area. so that the only acceptable solution is that this area embark on a com- munlty project of supplying these services or by financial arrange- ment with Charlottetown to supply the services if such can be ar- ranged.

"Following this line of reason- ing the ratepayers of the Village of Parkdale. at the annual meet- ing. held on February 2. 1954. authorized the Commissioners to seek advice of a consulting en- gineer who was then engaged in doing extension work to the exist- lns sewer system in the Town of summerslde. Mr. W. H. Crsndell.

Nurse: Heat Discussion On Mental Health

The Charlottetown District As- sociation of Nurses of P. E. Island began a series of sessions yester- day at Red Cross which will be conducted at Falconwood Hospit-

ln his introductory remarks at the opening session. Dr. A. J. Murchison said: "Mental health is a major problem today. Keep 8!! Dpen enquiring mind. incrcasei your knowledge by reading."

Touching on Hospital-patient-re-: lations he said "the public are no lonser willing to be dismissed with childish stories. They want to know what is being done. and why it is being done, and not to be treated as a child. Pati- ents are no longer gazing at doc-, tors and nurses with awe. butl

"Fear is one of the biggest factors in producing emotional ills and is associated with the stress and strain of modern liv- ing." the speaker said. "This frequeltlly results in anxiety, which in turn creates bodily ten- sion. which if not relieved, pro- duces illness mental and physi- c .

"The stress theory holds that many diseases have no single cause. no specific pathogens, but are largely due to non-specific stress. and to pathogenic situa- tions which result from inappro- pritate responses to such non- specific stress."

At the afternoon session. Dr.

. A. MacVicar spoke on "How to win patients and influence Doctors." In the evening the 39;. sion continued and was follow- ed by a buzz group and general discussion.

This morning the session will be held in the Occupational Therapy Building at Falconwood gospital and with case presenta-

Prompt Action Saves Small Boy

PETERBOROUGH. Ont. 1CP)- Fast action by a young mother Monday saved her one-year-old sun from possible asphyxiation after he crawled down a 14-inch cold air pipe leading to the furn- ace in their home.

Mrs. Jack Daly. who said she was so excited she "could have ripped the furnace apart." raced to the basement and kicked the pipe apart to free her son Bill.

Mrs. Daly said the boy crawl- ed three feet down to the elbow of the pipe after his sister Don- na. 2. lifted a grating from the floor. He got stuck in the elbow and started to cry.

the administration or the Village. "Following this discussion a motion was made. and unanimous- ly carried, that this Village pro- ceed with the building of sewers and water mains providing that the Provincial Government would permit Parkdale to withdraw from the School Unit. Parkdale would maintain its own school. and pro- vide for these added services. "From the figures of the school year 1954-55 it is apparent that Parkdale School District as it was constituted at the time of incor- poration into the Unit subsidized School Unit No. 1 in the amount of Three Thousand Three Hund- red and Thirty-five (&'i,S35.00l Dollars per year. In other words. Parkdale School District is pay- ing this amount over and above the charges which are payable in respect of the annual mainten- ance of its school. If we consider the area comprised by the Village of Parkdale. then It will be ap- parent from the figures for the same year that this area is sub- sidizing School Unit No. 1 to the amount of approximately Four Thousand Nine Hundred and Thirty-five (S-4,935.00) Dollars per year. This area can not afford to do this when it is in such a dif- ficult position with relation to water and sewerage. The people- of the district feel that by with- drawal from the School Unit this money will be made available for the urgently needed sewerage and water facilities. ,

PROPOSED PLEBISCITI

"We note that the proposal of the Government. in dealing with this matter, is to hold A plebiscite within the Unit. to determine If the people wish to split up the Unit, and if they so decide. to ap- point a Commission to decide what shall then be done in regard to reallocatlng and running the re- sulting school districts.

"In closing we wish to make very clear to you these three points: '

"First. It is not our wish to break up the School Unit. and as this seems to be the decision we will be called on to make when we vote on the proposed plebis- cite. this vote will not. In any way. serve to solve our problem, but will only confuse those voting.

"second, we have obligations to the citizens of the Village. I The present set-up of so urban area joined up with a rural area as a school unit is financially impract- ical. Such arrangement Is a de- terrent to our olng ahead with progressive ac vlties within the

The Becker Ensemble. headed by Miss Mary Becker. violinist, have established an enviable re- putation in concert appearances across the continent. and their performance last evening left nothing to be desired in virtuosity and sensitivity. The other mem- bers of the ensemble. all solo art- ists in their own right. are Miss Marcia Barbour, cellist, Miss Lily Miki. pianist, and Miss Ramona Dahlborg. flutist. Individually and as a group, they were warmly and I onded to a number of encores.

Among modern composers few enjoy the reputation of that of Maurice Ravel, from whose works Miss Becker. Miss Barbour and Miss Miki chose two movements from "Trio in A Minor”. This difficult piece is regarded as one of Ravel's most important contri-I butions to Impressionism; the pro-i gramme notes refer particularly to "the interlocking of phrases; and superimposition of meters"' by which the second movement

MOSCOW. (AP) - A fur-hattcd young Russian wounded a Soviet guard at the British embassy Sun- day night with pistol fire and. spouting gibberish, forced his way inside. Two unarmed British at- taches captured him there. They turned him over to Soviet police.

The intruder. a well-dressed man of about 25. was subdued in the second-floor living quarters of Ambassador Sir William and Lady Hayter. They returned from a skiing trip in the country just as he was being taken away.

Moscow diplomatic observers were inclined to attach no political significance to the incident. They dismissed it as the individual ac- tion of a person presumably mentally disturbed.

EMBASSY HEAVILY GUARDED

The gunman's identity has not been disclosed. He appered at the high iron gates of the embassy court yard. in the centre of the capital just across the Moscow river from the Kremlin. There he whipped out a pistol and blasted the guard in the chest. Then he ran 30 yards to the front door of the embassy mansion. He shoved aside a British guard, vaulted up the broad stairs to the second floor and into the stately main dining room.

Meanwhile the guards down- stairs had called third secretary John A. L. Morgan, 25. and chan- cery guard Thomas Gray, 32. The athletic pair rushed from their nearby apartments. jumped the gun-waving intruder and forcibly dlsarmed him.

Like all foreign missions in Moscow, the British embassy is heavily guarded. Night and day, two or more uniformed Russian policemen, with pistols at their belts. are posted at front and back gates in the high brick wall that surrounds the grounds. Plain- clothes police also are stationed outside the gates when the am- bassador ls inside.

Mr. MacDonald: "Did he tell you that he was in the hospital?”

Mr. Matheson: "I know he was in the hospital. nevertheless, I can say that he has done a splen- did job at Dundas and I am pleased to say that the additional grant has been included in the estlinates for this year."

The Premier emphatically de- nied the inference made by Mr. MacDonald that he was taken into the Murray Harbor district by a certain contractor. "That implication is absolutely false; there is not one lots of truth in it - I have known that man well since 1946 and not once has he ever asked me to run in that die- trlct."

Referring to Dr. Msculllan as the Dean of the House. Premier Matheeon said. "I enjoy using him so attentive to his duties. There have been two members who have been in their seats all thetimeandthosetwosretlie honourable member front Char- lottetown and the honourable member from Annandale." He said he also enjoyed the Doctor's regarding the confer- ences that he attended over the years and that steps had been taken to preserve that part of the speeclr for the records of the yetrs te come. when they would prove to be of inestlmsble value.

Miss Miki gave a brilliant solo performance of the two piano lnumbers in the classical tradition: '-Capriccioso. by Mendelssohn. and lBallade in A Flat Major. No. b. by Chopin. Her fine musicianship was also shown throughout the, programme in her accompani- ment of the other artists.

Two movement from a- violin Concerto in D Major by Tschalk- owsky. were played by Miss Bec-1 .ker. who was particularly effec- tive in bringing out the contrast between the lovely G Minor mel- ody in the Andante passages (Canzonetta). and the rousinl dance theme of the Finale.

An unusual and most enjoyable lfeature of the programme was the group of solos for flute. with piano accompan' 2 by M188 Dahlborg. These included De- bussy's well-known "Afternoon of a Faun". aptly transcribed and beautifully rendered; "Gillie"- by Jean Marie Leclair (18th cen- turyl; "Petit Valse". by Andre ,Caplet, and "Mai-sch". a move- ment from a flute Sonata. written in 1936 but classical in form. by Paul Hindemith.

Iggy Reports Grand Time In School

By STEWART MacLEOD Canadian Press Staff Writer

ST. JOHN'S. Nfld. (CP)-Iggy Crotty walked to school Monday afternoon for the first time in nearly a year and had a "grand time."

His mother says Iggy. Canada's most famous accident victim. was "just waiting to go back again tomorrow."

Iggy was equipped with a brand new pencil and scribbler for his first classroom appearance since last May 31 when a car ran him down in the street. His agonizing fight for life ended happily only two weeks ago when the nine-year- old returned home after treatment in Toronto.

Iggy had planned to return to class Monday morning but because of a layer of ice covering the streets Mrs. Crotty kept him home until the afternoon.

WANTED TAXI

He returned to grade 2. the grade he had completed at the time of the mishap that catapulted his story into front pages across the country.
